According to it, Intel expects to be at the peak of the building phase on the first two fabs in about five months: "According to the Ohio State Building and Construction Trades Council, the first phase of the Intel buildout will generate more than 45 million work hours for members of the building trades, with the vast majority of workers being from Ohio. “We have an abundance of work right now,” she said. “Intel is expecting to have 6,000 to 7,000 people at the peak of the building phase, which will start in about five months.” Full story here: https://www.richlandsource.com/2024/08/05/tomorrows-talent-how-is-north-central-ohio-preparing-for-intel/

I'm a proud American through and through, but we are absolutely garbage at manufacturing chips ourselves. I did a quick, unbiased Google search of "Intel." Every article in the first 3 pages of the "news" section was abysmal press. This is a company dying in front of our eyes. They're getting sued on multiple fronts, slashing their workforce, and their stock is tanking. Gelsinger is a moron and should have been fired ages ago. The problem with Intel has been, and will be, bad leadership. No one knows their place like in other companies, and everyone, including their engineers, only care about fighting for the top-level, C-suite jobs. The focus isn't the product, and there's little to no real team effort in that mid-tier section of management. At this rate, I would be shocked if Intel exists in its current form by 2028. It's hurtling towards failure, and being left behind in the dust. All I can say is that TSMC is about to get a screaming new deal on a brand new fab, and they'll finally be able to quell their ever-growing capacity issues.

August 24, 2024Aug 24 Intel brings "Big Bird" cranes to its Ohio One construction site "The big red cranes at Intel’s construction are getting some company — even bigger cranes that Intel is calling the “Big Birds” because of their bright yellow color. These two Big Birds, called LR 11350 crawler cranes, are almost built and ready for work. They will be used primarily to lift and place the 24’ x 24’ concrete floor pieces for the fabs. These types of cranes have a maximum radius of 538 feet (about the length of 1½ football fields), a load capacity of 3 million pounds and a maximum hoist height of 722 feet (taller than two Statues of Liberty). Because of the cranes’ height, Intel must get approval from the Federal Aviation Administration before using them. These two cranes will be followed later this year and early next year with more large crawler cranes, which will lift the trusses to the top of the fab, and additional precast cranes." https://siliconheartland.newalbanyohio.org/latest-news/

September 5, 2024Sep 5 The plant is going to happen. If Intel were to declare bankruptcy tomorrow, the federal government would almost certainly make sure that some other U.S. company picked up the pieces and carried the torch. It's a matter of national security and pretty much as close to a sure thing as you ever get with developments.

According to the article, there are now more than 2,000 construction workers on site each day: "Construction continues at the plant’s site in New Albany, a Columbus suburb, where company officials said more than 2,000 construction workers are on site daily. Two weeks ago, state officials celebrated the delivery of a “super load” 364,000 pound tank from a dock on the Ohio River in Adams County to the construction site that required temporary road blocks and a police escort. And this week, the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio approved an agreement between Intel and American Electric Power, a Columbus-area utility company.

September 17, 2024Sep 17 Intel strikes multibillion-dollar deal with Amazon, boosting New Albany project "Intel on Monday reaffirmed its commitment to its $28 billion project in New Albany and said it has struck a new multiyear, multibillion-dollar partnership with Amazon, one of its Licking County neighbors. The company did not specify how many years or billions of dollars the Amazon partnership was for beyond that the chips will power artificial intelligence applications based on Intel's most advanced technology. The partnership with Amazon comes after Amazon's announcement a year ago that it will spend $7.8 billion to build out its data center operations in central Ohio. Amazon has invested $10.3 billion in Ohio since 2015. The two said the collaboration underscores their commitment to accelerating U.S.-based semiconductor manufacturing and creating a vibrant artificial intelligence ecosystem in Ohio. Intel said it will explore the potential for further designs with Amazon to be produced by Intel using its most advanced chips that are expected to be produced in New Albany. Separately on Monday, Intel announced that it has qualified for up to $3 billion in additional federal aid to make chips for the U.S. military." https://www.dispatch.com/story/business/2024/09/16/intel-reaffirms-support-for-licking-county-strikes-amazon-partnership/75254324007/
September 17, 2024Sep 17 Intel to produce semiconductor chips for Amazon Web Services at New Albany plant Intel Corp. will produce semiconductor chips for Amazon Web Services at its future campus in Central Ohio. The partnership, which the companies describe as a multi-year, multi-billion-dollar co-investment, comes as Intel continues to build out its $28 billion chip manufacturing complex in New Albany. The complex is expected to finish construction between 2026 and 2027 and become operational between 2027 and 2028. As part of the expanded collaboration, Intel will produce an AI fabric chip and a custom Xeon 6 chip for AWS. The company says the production of these chips will build on an existing partnership under which Intel produces Xeon Scalable processors for AWS. “This expansion of our longtime relationship with AWS reflects the strength of our process technology and delivers differentiated solutions for customer workloads,” Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger said in a press release.

September 18, 2024Sep 18 Interesting to see that Intel's rival, TSMC, is now producing Apple's A16 chips at their new fab in Arizona. This chip was first used for the iPhone 14 Pro (2022) and iPhone 15 (2023), but will likely continue to be used for many years in other products that don't need the most powerful chip, such as the Apple TV, iPhone SE, low end iPad, and maybe even other smart home devices. It will be interesting to see if TSMC continues to introduce the latest chipmaking technology in Taiwan and only brings the older tech to the U.S., and if Intel will be able to push ahead of them here.

A quibble: it's not TSMC's 'latest chipmaking technology' that's important in the semiconductors race but rather the technology from ASML, a Netherlands-based firm. Their leading-edge technology -- and the future of semiconductors; e.g. Intel's 18A and 14A nodes -- will be enabled by ASML's 'high numerical aperture extreme ultraviolet' (High-NA EUV) lithography machines. In fact, these sophisticated machines represent the bulk of the $28 billion fab costs for Intel Ohio One (and all manufacturer's foundries for that matter). The machines are larger than charter buses and cost about $400 million. Truly fascinating technology, frankly. If you want a deep-dive on them please check out Asianometry [0] on YouTube, he extensively covers this technology -- and semiconductors more broadly. Regarding the race between TSMC and Intel, I'll add that TSMC took possession just last week of its first High-NA EUV machine from ASML [1]. For comparison, Intel received its first machine some five months ago [2]. Also, Intel has purchased the entire 2024 inventory from ASML [3]. (The machines already delivered were built in 2023.)

September 21, 2024Sep 21 It's American company without fabs buying a dying American company with fabs. Why wouldn't they allow it? Maybe they make Intel spin off the design portion of the company, but Intel has already been prepping for a split, they relatively recently opened their fabs to produce outside designs and started splitting out the financial results of their manufacturing in their filings. I agree this Ohio location moves ahead because of the federal money behind it, but they're pausing fabs in Poland and Germany and canceling a fab in Malaysia. It moves ahead to achieve the bare minimum of what they need to do to get those sweet federal dollars, but it will be a long time if ever before we see 10 fabs or whatever the "potential" investment they were swinging around 3 years ago was.

September 23, 2024Sep 23 I think it's highly likely we get the fab they are currently constructing, but I don't think it's counter productive to question whether a company that's lost $100+ billion of market cap (half of their value) since this project was announced and one that is actively pausing other fabs will continue to build out the site beyond the initial fab. There's pessimism and there's evaluating the reality of the situation. Maybe we should slow play any additional tax payer investments that are banking on more than 1 fab until we see how this plays out. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/09/23/business/dealbook/intels-chips-qualcomm-apollo.html?smid=url-share Edited September 23, 2024Sep 23 by 17thState Clarity
